Install time for most Homeowners is usually about one weekend
depending on the size of the awning, you will need

Engineering
& Permits
At Try-Tech we pride ourselves in selling
quality products. Aluminum Patio and Door Canopy awnings that have design
and durability in mind. Products that give our customers Value for their
Dollar.
Unfortunately
we don't have any specific engineering to acquire building permits with, but
we have not had any negative feed back from our customers as to withstanding
the elements (snow/rain/wind). It's not probable that any engineering is
forthcoming in the near future.
Note:
Exposure "B" has terrain which has buildings, forest or surface
irregularities covering at least 20 percent of the ground level area
extending one mile or more from the site.

Exposure "C" has terrain which

Awning
Terminology
| Glossary of Terms |
| Projection |
Distance out from house on an attached awning.
Freestanding units use this as the width.
Another way to look at it is the projection is the distance the pans
run out, the pans have to span this distance.
Projection is usually the most critical for determining engineering
capabilities. |
| Length |
Length along the house.
Freestanding units use this as the general length.
The length is made up from interlocking pans, the more pans you have
the longer the unit will be. The pans are either 6" for
alumawood or 12" for standard aluminum and it is almost
limitless how long the unit can be. |

Manufacturing Process
All orders are made to order, every order is
considered custom. After your order has been placed your
awning goes into the production line, aluminum sheets
are used for making most parts of the awning.
Sheets are cut to length and then formed by large
machines that press them into shape. Once all
the parts for the awning have been manufactured the
awning is carefully packaged using 500lb test
cardboard. From this point it is ready for
shipment. Due to this process the manufacturing/production
time takes approximately 7-9 days from the date of
order. |
